There’s more to planning a residential roofing project than choosing a material, selecting the perfect shingle style and finding the right contractor. If you live in an HOA community, you might need to seek board approval before updating your home’s exterior. Your HOA could have rules regarding the roofing styles and colors you can use. Keep reading to learn more.
HOA and Roof Colors
Secure the latest copy of your community’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). You don’t have to read the entire document. Focus on the section about roofs or exterior renovations. However, even after reading the CC&Rs, it still helps to consult board members.
Ask if there are specific roof colors or materials you need to use. Are you interested in asphalt shingle or metal roofing? Determine if these options are permitted in your community. Find out which forms you must submit and where you can get them. Does your HOA have pre-approved roof colors? If so, be sure not to select one that resembles or is too similar to your neighbor’s roof.
Tips for Getting HOA Roof Approval
You want to submit your HOA requirements early because it could take some time to get approved, depending on where you live. Completing this task ahead of time can ensure your project remains on schedule.
Another thing that can speed up your approval process is working with a reputable roofer. Choose a contractor who has relevant experience working in HOA communities. Partnering with a dependable company can also help ensure your new roof is installed correctly and lasts long.
